I cannot see us losing tonight   so I’m going to leave at 3/4 time

Richmond employ a ( to us ) very clever tactic called run and spread. Our catatonic scribe deciphers have yet to crack this code or understand its real harm. We were only competitive in the past

And yet we were only 2 goals down early in the last  Not saying we will win by 10 goals tonight, but the wrist slashing and hyperbole on Land of late is both ridiculous and hilarious at the same

I’m really intrigued to see what Goodwin does tonight. There are numerous factors why we suck at the minute, but none more so than our system.

We may not win tonight, but a competitive effort, particularly defensively, will at least give me some faith in Goodwin.

This is how tonight will go:

  • We will come out firing after the horrors of last week
  • We will win a lot of clearances as we will have lots of players going for the same ball at the contest
  • Richmond will set up well outside the contest not over-committing players to the ball and wait for us to fumble or turn the ball over
  • Our fierce attack on the contest early will see us get the ball inside the forward 50 a lot but Weideman and McDonald (who will lead too early) won't hold their marks and our small forwards will be out of position when the ball hits the ground allowing Richmond to walk the ball out of their backline and transition up the ground with ease
  • While we focus on Richmond's twin towers it will be their fleet of small and quick forwards who will cut us up and expose our lack of speed
  • Gawn will battle hard in the ruck but not having Preuss to support him will limit his effectiveness as the kick-behind-play ruckman in defence that we need
  • Melksham will bob up for a couple of opportunistic goals but he will again totally freak out with any sort of set shot, Petracca the same
  • In the end, we will have the endeavour but not the structure, fitness, skill or the personnel to compete for four quarters

Melbourne by 37 points.

He must change the system, drastically. His whole philosophy needs an update. Otherwise he won’t last

it's quite relaxing going into a game with zero expectations. 

Yep - that's how I got through the Neeld years.

It would be great to be on edge every game, every year (think Hawthorn). But we've blown it, big time. The end of last year was a taste of how supporters of those clubs feel - back to normal transmission now, though.

What a disgrace.

Just play Man on Man FFS.

our "gameplan" does not work.  at least man on man will give us a chance and I won't be screaming as Frost etc run off their man constantly

Footy isn't that hard is it??? we win it in the middle and can't do jack [censored] else?

Would you believe I have never had a glass of scotch in my life.

I took a sip once and hated it and have never had it since. Same goes for Brandy, Cognac and Champagne, which tends to make me feel sick, much like my footy team.

Yup.  Its a big night for Goodwin and the coaching staff.

Our system is a shambles and changes must be made,  If he puts Lewis and Jones on the wings tonight again,  there will be meltdowns.

Nothing is wrong. Maintaining the faith somehow always provides hope.  

Often it's all we have, but it is fundamental to our existence.   

Certainly a key requirement to follow the Red and Blue over a lifetime.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag
